Last Week’s FX Recap: April 7–11 (Zone Reactions & Trade Notes)📈 Weekly Forex Recap – Market Reactions & Lessons (Apr 7–11)
Last week there were about +320 pips of reaction potential (excluding Gold, which I was completely off on). There were multiple opportunities to capture solid intraday or swing setups.
3 out of 6 weekly targets were hit.
5 out of 6 trend biases were either accurate or neutral —meaning no major misreads, aside from one or two volatile zones. The only pair that really got me was Gold.
Let’s run it back real quick:
✅ AUDJPY
Bearish bias accurate.
30 pip reaction off zone with just 1 pip drawdown.
Weekly target hit.
✅ NZDJPY
Bearish bias accurate.
Weekly target hit, though price never reached the watch zone.
No setup triggered, but direction was respected.
⚠️ EURUSD
Range-bound bias played out majority of the week.
Gave about 90–100 pip drop from the hot zone mentioned.
Weekly target came close but didn’t hit.
⚠️ GOLD
Watch zone completely failed.
Short-term bounce gave 480 pip reaction—but that volatility was tough to catch cleanly.
Directional bias wasn’t helpful here. Gold was chaos.
✅ EURGBP
Cleanest setup of the week.
Bias was bullish, price tapped the buy zone and ran 100 pips.
Weekly target hit. Textbook move.
⚠️ GBPUSD
Consolidation-heavy.
Watch zone gave 100 pip reaction, but weekly target didn’t hit.
Bias was unclear—no real conviction either way.
📉 Total Zone Reaction Potential: 320 pips
🎯 Weekly Targets Hit: 3/6
📊 Trend Accuracy: 50% (3 clear hits, 2 neutral, 1 miss)
But that’s done now.
Whether you hit it last week or fumbled the ball, let it go.
We trade forward. Eyes up. Mind clear.
Time to dive into the new week.
Let’s get it. 👊

U.S political events have a significant impact on the USDTrump Election (2016): subsequent DXY downtrend during the first year of TRUMP presidency. The price seems to have retraced from a peak and continued declining for about a year.
Biden Election (2020): After the 2020 election of Joe Biden, there was a notable bottoming pattern, followed by a strong upward movement in the DXY, implying a recovery or strengthening of the USD.
the DXY moved within a range during Trump's presidency, between 88.275 and 104.023 .
Current Analysis (2024): The DXY is approaching a sell zone, potentially aiming for a reintegration into the Trump range.
U.S. political events, such as presidential elections, have a significant impact on the USD's strength. The transitions in administrations are marked by notable shifts in the DXY.
USDX-BUY strategy 12 hourly chart Regression channelFundamentally we understand the selling pressures on USD and technically also had confirmation for that as well. now we are very oversold (and even before), and since we cannot know the exact lows, we should carefully implement BUY strategy that survives. this is an individual choice and strategy.
Strategy BUY @ 99.20-99.60 and take profit near 101.57 for now.

The impact of tariffs on the DXYIn the long term, the imposition of tariffs will trigger countermeasures from trading partners 😡, leading to a shrinkage of the global trade scale 😔. The import costs of raw materials for American enterprises will rise, and their export markets will be restricted, which will curb the economic growth of the United States 😩. This will exert depreciation pressure on the US dollar, causing the DXY to decline 📉.
U.S. Tariff Policies
Since April 9th, the United States has imposed tariffs ranging from 10% to 25% on goods from China, the European Union, Canada, and other regions, covering key sectors such as automobiles, steel, and semiconductors.😒
Countermeasures of Various Countries
China: On April 4th, China announced that it would impose a 34% tariff on U.S. goods starting from April 10th. On April 9th, the tariff rate was further increased to 84%, covering all U.S. goods.😠
The European Union: Announced that it would impose a 25% tariff on U.S. motorcycles, diamonds, and other goods starting from May 16th.😤
Canada: Imposed a 25% retaliatory tariff on U.S. automobiles on April 9th, but exempted auto parts.😏
This upward movement has led to the clearing of many traders' accounts or significant losses 😫. You can follow my signals and gradually recover your losses and achieve profitability 🌟.

DXY:The US dollar will continue to be under pressure.Trump's approach of "suspension plus intensification" has dealt a blow to the global supply chain and the confidence in energy consumption. The deterioration of consumer confidence and the rise in inflation expectations have eroded the safe-haven status of the US dollar. It is expected that the DXY will continue to face downward pressure next week.
In terms of operation, it is recommended to wait for a rebound and then take short positions.

Sell@102-101

The DXY Is Crumbling To Dust - Easy 2 Percent Short Entry NowThe dollar is crumbling to dust fast. The latest tariff news with China is going to spiral the already bearish market into a future spiral.
The earning moving average values (red 5, blue 10, yellow 50, white 100) are all below price action currently. On almost all of the time frames.
We are currently sitting at a very minor support zone as circled in yellow. Price should slip easily 100.60 possibly slightly less. The bottom orange box is the bottom support zone of the DXY low since 2023.
Place your stop loss slightly above 103.25 to prevent a liquidity grab. The bears are in control of this current market do not be foolish. TRADE THE TREND!!!
$DXY to 100 and heading lower, bullish for $EURUSDTVC:DXY the dollar index, was the primary driver of the equity bear market in 2022. With TVC:DXY hitting a 5 year high of 114 marked the bottom in AMEX:SPY and $QQQ. The recent strength in TVC:DXY was out of stock with TVC:DXY and Stock markets rising at the same time and dropping when the TVC:DXY is falling. Usually, the risk assets have an inverse correlation to the US Dollar index. These periods in history are unusual and are marked by some kind of macro events like recession etc. With tariffs discussion everywhere that might not be unrealistic to expect some kind of recession.
In that case where is the TVC:DXY headed? Currently the TVC:DXY is at a psychological level of 100. Once it breaks below 100 the next stop might be 95. If we see some kind of soft recession which is my worst-case scenario then we might see the lows of 90 in $DXY. If TVC:DXY goes down by 10% or lower than we can expect to the FX:EURUSD to go back to its recent high of 1.23.
Verdict: Short TVC:DXY ; Long FX:EURUSD , AMEX:SPY and NASDAQ:QQQ
DXY Will Fall! Short!
Here is our detailed technical review for DXY.
Time Frame: 1D
Current Trend: Bearish
Sentiment: Overbought (based on 7-period RSI)
Forecast: Bearish
The market is trading around a solid horizontal structure 99.769.
The above observations make me that the market will inevitably achieve 96.117 level.
P.S
Please, note that an oversold/overbought condition can last for a long time, and therefore being oversold/overbought doesn't mean a price rally will come soon, or at all.

DXY NEXT MOVE AND MARKET EFFECTThe US Dollar Index (DXY) is currently testing a major multi-year support zone around the 99.70–100.00 level. This level has held firm multiple times in the past, acting as a strong demand area during key macroeconomic cycles. Right now, price action is showing indecision with a clear do-or-die moment forming. If bulls defend this zone, we could witness a significant bullish reversal, potentially targeting the 103.00–105.00 range. However, a decisive break below this support could trigger a bearish wave toward the 96.00 handle or even lower.
Technically, this zone is not just psychological, but also a structural demand region, aligning with previous swing lows and price pivots. We’re seeing a potential for either a double bottom reversal or a breakdown structure forming, depending on how the market reacts in the coming sessions. Price is extremely oversold on higher timeframes, which could fuel a relief rally if momentum shifts. The reaction here will be key for broader market direction, especially as the dollar plays a pivotal role across forex majors.
Fundamentally, the DXY is under pressure as recent U.S. macro data reveals weakening momentum. March CPI printed hotter than expected, but other indicators like core PCE, NFP softness, and signs of slowing consumer demand are fueling expectations that the Fed may be nearing a policy pivot. At the same time, global risk sentiment is improving and yields have pulled back slightly, putting pressure on the greenback. However, rising geopolitical tensions and elevated oil prices continue to support USD as a safe-haven asset.
As a professional trader, this is a critical level to watch. I’m keeping an eye on price action confirmation for either a bullish engulfing setup or a clean break and retest of the 99.50 level. Both scenarios offer high-probability trades. Patience here is crucial — let the market reveal its hand, then align with the momentum. Dollar volatility is likely to remain elevated heading into next week, so managing risk with clarity is key.

What happens to markets when the dxy rallies?!Scanning through the markets during these turbulent times has me, wondering what would happen when the dollar index rallies to new highs? Will the real estate market be higher? Will Gold be higher? Will inflation be higher? With the great reset well underway and the sheep buying the left- right blame game, what will happen to our beloved investments?
DXY BEARISH TRENDDXY has been on a bearish movement since December, heading to the strong resistance of monthly and weekly timeframe. Currently trapped inside 4hours consolidation zone, if we see breakout to the down side, this will be continuation of the down movement to the monthly resistance before the new uptrend will start. But if the breakout is to the upside, meaning there will be a short bullish movement before another strong fall DXY. this will help to know what Gold and other USD pair is about to do in our analysis. What is your view? comment below.
DXY In Difficult Circumstances Since the Start 80's I decided to give a go at the Dollar Index given the circumstances around the world. And to be honest, I tried to put on the positive glasses.
I believe the dollar has been in a complex correction since the mid 80's. Starting out with a large dump in '85 with the a-wave, the correction slowed down and only grew more and more complex.
Thought about current wave: What I believe we are going through now is, that we are finishing up the purple C-wave in a green (C)-wave. This wave can end at any time now, since it's now at the 61.8% fib level of the purple A-wave. But it might go down to the 95 level (The green box) to complete at the 100% fiblevel of the purple A-Wave.
But first we will have the fourth wave meaning the DXY is gonna struggle for some weeks. Because we had a swift two week wave 2, which means we are probably going have a slow fourth wave according to the rule of alternation. This mean the purple C-wave could drag out into the end of '25 into early '26.
This is also with that in mind that a C-wave most likely will take longer than an A-wave. These are the Purple boxes.
BUT, after this, DXY is gonna experience some happy years again, going back up to the yellow box somewhere between 110 and 120 to finish the WXY of x of the larger degree. This will take DXY into a couple of years bull-run as long as the green (C) wave runs and completes no earlier than late '27, depending when the purple C-wave prior to the green (C) wave ends. But I believe the green (C)-wave will take about two years to complete.
But after this, DXY could again go into some dark ages and considering the high degree purple w-wave took 23 years to complete (blue giant box), there is no reason to believe this high degree purple y-wave will be a swift matter and actually don't complete before the year 2050. And it will take the DXY all the down to start 60's or lower.
The reason I said I tried to put on the positive glasses, is that I tried seeing the white channel as a leading diagonal for a new bull run, but I just don't see it as such.
I also tried seeing it as a C-wave of a flat diagonal, but this would result in another C-wave afterwards, and also take us down to the 60's level. So that didn't do us any good.
For the sake of DXY, I hope I'm wrong, but this is how I see it.
DXY: Summer CRASH but here is why it will SKYROCKET after.The U.S. Dollar Index is oversold on both its 1D and 1W technical outlooks but on the 1M it just turned bearish (RSI = 42.641, MACD = 0.810, ADX = 21.680). This is because it crossed under its 1M MA50 for the first time since January 2022. For more than 3 years the 1M MA50 has kept it on the upper side of the 2008 Channel Up but now the time has come for it to aim at its bottom as every time it broke under it, the pattern dropped more and made a bottom a few months later.
We anticipate a bottom around July, ideally with the 1M RSI inside our Target Zone, which consists of the last two lows. Then the new bullish wave of the pattern should begin, reaching the January 2025 High by the end of 2026.
